I confess. Just did a few dabs after getting the kids to school and found myself in a thread dedicated to Australian growers. Man those poor guys. It ain't easy down under for a mush man. Saw a guy said he paid 50$ for a spore print. It was normal to pay 18$ for a single sleeve of Petri dishes. Presto is double the price after shipping. The list goes on. Plenty of stores got coir and agar so that's good at least. I want to make a care package for these folks. Send down a couple hundred prints to the guy who started the thread and have him pass them out to noobs. They need to save their money for pressure cookers and Petri dishes.

Last time I was in 20 degree weather I was wearing shorts. Everyone looked at me like I’m crazy and all I could think is everyone else is crazy.

I confess. The last 5 months I've been getting by on um... donations from my hobby. Last night I officially took a new job. It's the first good job I've ever had. I've had jobs that paid more but they were always temporary, this is something I can do till my kids grow up. And it comes with real benefits and even a new phone and laptop. Well my confession is that while my wife sees 401k and health insurance I see a grow room and a 4x4 flowhood. Mush for brains. My wife was like oh good you don't have to grow so many mushrooms now. Lol. Yeah. Ok.

Yeah those are nice. I was just using some of that silicone tonight.
I confess I should have used or tossed this plate a while ago... ( But I’m glad I didn’t! )

Confession #2 I keep trying to focus on just 2-3 strains, but I always fail and end up having plates and jars and tubs of 8-12 things going at once! I need to be more disciplined about putting cultures on slants for long term storage.
Next week’s confession: swiped spores of four new varieties on agar today!!!

I confess I waited till the last min to order plates. Got 2 clean ones out of the last stack I had due to a fumble on the 1 yard line. Went to wrap them once they were cool enough and knocked the whole damn stack over. Stupid whiskey. Now I need to do transfers but the new ones won't be here till Wednesday. Might run to the store and snag some pasty plates today but I doubt it. Got a good book that's been keeping me lazy all week. I think I burnt myself out a bit this summer tbh.
I need some of your enthusiasm eat. I got a bunch of prints from Bigsurmoon that I want to grow out. Maybe Ill take a little break and come back strong after turkey day.
